All across the globe, today’s drivers are enjoying the many benefits of owning an electric car. The electric vehicle industry is growing fast in Australia, one of the world’s sunniest countries! Now is the perfect time, and Australia is the perfect place to try out the many advantages that electric cars have over the old internal combustion engine vehicles that run on fossil fuels. Polluting petrol grows more and more expensive every year as supplies dwindle, and there won’t be any more of it made once its all gone, the industry will be as dead as the fossils that created it!
Most Australian drivers are still behind the wheels of cars that use internal-combustion engines, which have been the regular mode of transportation since the first Model T rolled off the assembly line over a hundred years ago. Nowadays, electric cars have many benefits and the uptake in Australia is steadily increasing. Combine that with the growing popularity of solar power and you have a car that’s practically free to run! Australia is blessed with the highest concentration of solar radiation per square metre of all the continents, there is plenty of it, maybe even too much considering the large number of car sun shades being sold! So, imagine you are driving an electric car and charging it using solar power- you will never have to pay for petrol again! Electric cars require far less maintenance, and produce nearly zero emissions, making them a truly green machine!
Let’s take a closer look at the many benefits electric cars can offer you!
Lower Fuel Costs – Are you sick and tired of watching fuel prices rise and fall, always on an upward spiral of being more and more expensive every year? Are you tired of unwillingly supporting a big, greedy, and dirty industry that doesn’t care about your future, and is only interested in raking in as much of your hard-earned cash as they can before their oil wells run dry? Then you may be excited to learn that it costs a great deal less for an electric vehicle driver to charge up their car than it does for a petrol-driven car’s driver to pour fuel into theirs. Australia has charging stations all over the country and more on the way, so you never have to worry about running out of juice, even on long-distance trips!
Less Maintenance – All you have to do is open up the bonnet to see that a petrol-fuelled vehicle is a highly complicated affair with a lot of moving parts, and when you have a lot of moving parts the chances are very high that one of them will break down! Add to that the fact that petrol-driven engines run hot, just starting one up adds more heat to global warming, and hot things have a much greater chance of melting down or even catching on fire! An electric motor runs far more efficiently, has very few moving parts, and is a lot cooler, making maintenance a much easier, and rarer task! Electric cars are great, go test drive one, we promise you will get a charge out of it!
